Our guided casual Scottsdale bike tour is a great way to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, get a bit of exercise, and explore Scottsdale’s beautiful neighborhoods, green spaces, and canals. Cruise for 2-3 hours through the desert along paved bike paths near our Scottsdale bike shop or down Scottsdale’s Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt on our hybrid or comfort bikes. Our guides will make your ride both fun and educational, providing interesting facts about the history of the Valley of the Sun and the wildlife that lives in our green spaces.

The route was beautiful and on local bike trails. Highly recommend this activity!Past Guest

On the Day of Your Tour

About this Tour:

Our expertly maintained rental bike fleet consists of multi-geared touring bicycles specifically designed for ease of use and comfort on both paved bike paths, roads, and the occasional hard dirt surface along the banks of the Scottsdale canal network.

AOA provides helmets, snacks, and water for the duration of the tour. Your knowledgeable guide will lead you on a carefully mapped route along designated bike paths, canal banks and the lightly-traveled suburban streets of sunny Arizona to create the perfect bike tour of Phoenix.

In the early part of the day, wildlife abounds in the lush arroyos through which the neighborhood bike paths wind. Look for desert cottontail rabbits hopping away into the underbrush and watch out for quails crossing the path! Your tour can start from the AOA office and explore the many bikeways in North Scottsdale, or we’ll load up the bikes and cruise further afield. Upon request we can operate our guided bike tours at Tempe Town Lake, Mill Avenue, or Papago Park – please note these may require an additional fee.
